help please ... in which direction does the graph of the function shown below open?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Quadratics open either up or down, so that cancels out the right and left options.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Also, when the equation is written in ax^2+bx+c, when the a value is positive, the graph opens up. And when it is negative, the graph opens down.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is "up"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is positive

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yup :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

No worries :)
